Do you feel broken or unclean?

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you—that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine (Romans 1:11-12).

I am continually encouraged by the faith and teaching of Mark Driscoll, and I was greatly encouraged by these two videos, and I hope they encourage you as well.  Why was I encouraged?  He reminds of who Jesus is and what He's done for me.  Is there anything better to be reminded of?  Is there anything more encouraging?

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain (1 Corinthians 15:1-2).
